Abstract

A water irrigation system may include a computer system, a sensing unit, an irrigation controller, and / or a water delivery system. The sensing unit may include a wind sensor. The wind sensor may include thermistors. The sensing unit may assess wind speed at one of the thermistors as a function of temperature. The sensing unit may provide output based on the assessed wind speed to the computer system. The computer system may control irrigation of a zone to be irrigated at least partially based on the assessed wind speed. A method of controlling irrigation may include assessing wind speed as a function of temperature, assessing an irrigation need of the zone to be irrigated at least partially based on the assessed wind speed, and controlling irrigation to at least meet the assessed irrigation need of the zone to be irrigated.

Description

BACKGROUND

[0001] 1. Field of Invention

[0002] The present invention generally relates to a water irrigation system. More particularly, the invention relates to a sensing unit that assesses climatological conditions in or near a zone to be irrigated and a computer system that uses the assessed climatological conditions and historical evapotranspiration data to assess an irrigation need of the zone to be irrigated. The computer system may control irrigation to at least meet the irrigation need of the zone to be irrigated.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] Water irrigation systems are used in residential, agricultural, and commercial settings. Some water irrigation systems use historical and / or predictive climatological data (e.g., evapotranspiration data, precipitation data), restrictive data, and / or climatological conditions to adjust irrigation of a zone to be irrigated. Some water irrigation systems include local control and / or remote intelligence from a centralized data...
